Access to starting point:
Because of the rockfall, access to the described starting point is not possible until further notice (May 2018).
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Jesenice–west exit, then continue driving on the regional road towards Kranjska Gora. Follow the mentioned road to the settlement Belca and a few hundred metres further, then we will notice on the right side the beginning of the forest road which leads into the Belce valley. Further on, we drive on the initially still wide, then increasingly narrow and occasionally quite precipitous forest road. Follow the scenic road, which leads us through the tunnel, to the marked parking lot by a smaller bridge at the confluence of Suhega grabna and Beli potok stream.
If we continue driving over the bridge after which there is a green barrier, it can happen that it will be locked upon our departure.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, which immediately crosses a bridge behind which stands a green barrier. The road soon begins to ascend more steeply alongside the scenic Suhi graben stream. Higher up, we ascend above a nice waterfall, and the road a little further brings us to a junction, where we continue on the left road (right Kepa).
The road continues to ascend moderately, and at all junctions we follow the "main" road. A little higher, the road leads past the forestry cottage and a little higher past a trough with water. We continue to follow the road, which has a few smaller junctions, along the "main" road, and after the last sharp right turn it brings us to a smaller junction by which there is usually a small cairn. Here the path to Mojstrovica over Bašinov breg branches off to the left, and we continue straight ahead and follow the road to its end.
From the end of the road, we ascend to Sedlič, and there at the junction by the fence we continue left (right Kresišče and Trupejevo poldne). The path from Sedlič quickly leads onto steep slopes over which we ascend to the forest-covered ridge of Mojstrovica. When we reach the ridge, the steep path flattens, and a little further it even slightly descends. A gentle ascent follows, and the path quickly brings us out of the forest onto expansive grazing slopes. Here the trail continues straight, but we continue slightly to the right across easier pathless terrain, reaching the panoramic summit in 5 minutes of further walking.
In fog, orientation in the upper part is relatively difficult.
Starting point - end of road 1:45, end of road - Mojstrovica 35 minutes.

Discussion about the trip Zapornica (Belca) - Mojstrovica
|
| Lj10. 10. 2010 |
I wouldn't want to be ungrateful, since without this description I probably never would have found Mojstrovica. But in practice we discovered a slightly different orientation on the forest roads: at the first fork ahead from the hut on Mikulovica pasture, go left, and at the next fork right, and you reach Sedlič saddle. We misunderstood the description and at the fork above Mikulovica kept right, the road descended a bit and then ended. Since there was no fence as described above, we headed steeply into the forest along the edge of the torrent gully by feel. After a tough ascent we really reached Sedlič and realized another forest road leads there. On the way back we took the correct route and the trip was very nice, although there's quite a lot of road walking. Above Sedlič saddle you're rewarded for all the effort as the path continues through larch groves to the top of Mojstrovica.

Yesterday on Mojstrovica nice day snow currently still quite a lot only after leaving the road. But the road from Belca is currently impassable approx 500m before the tunnel big landslide damn, so the path lengthens by one hour.
